Perris and eventually San Jacinto, the original right-of-way continues south of downtown Perris on tracks now owned and operated by the Southern California Railway Museum, which is also the location of one of the original station buildings for the line at Pinacate. For years, the museum had a connection to the mainline, but it was severed during the rehabilitation of the Perris Valley Line. The museum has been working to regain their connection, and hopes to be able to run trains to downtown Perris once again. At the southern end the section between San Diego and Oceanside also sees heavy use by Amtrak California's Pacific Surfliner trains as well as those of the San Diego Coaster. As part of the Santa Fe's rail network, it was part of what has come to be known as the Surf Line. As of January 2006, this line is the second busiest passenger rail line in the United States. Although San Diego's Union Station replaced the railroad's original station there in 1915, the California Southern's station and office building in National City has been preserved and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
